MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: June 25, 2010 Released: June 28, 2010
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1. The Audio Division has before it a Petition for Reconsideration filed on behalf of Maupin 
Broadcasting Company (“Petitioner”), directed to the Report and Order issued in this proceeding, which 
allotted Channel 244C2 at Maupin, Oregon.1 No parties filed comments in response to the Petition for 
Reconsideration.
2. In its Petition for Reconsideration, Petitioner now withdraws its expression of interest in 
the allotment of Channel 244C2 at Maupin.  Petitioner states that due to changed economic conditions, it 
is no longer interested in constructing and operating a station at Maupin.  In compliance with Section 
1.420(j) of the Commission’s Rules, Petitioner states that no consideration has been or will be received by 
it in return for the withdrawal of its expression of interest.  Petitioner also requests the dismissal of its 
pending application for a new station at Maupin.2
3. Discussion. We will grant the Petition for Reconsideration and dismiss the petitioner’s 
expression of interest because it demonstrated compliance with §1.420 (j).  There is no other expression 
of interest in vacant Channel 244C2 at Maupin.  It is Commission policy to refrain from maintaining an 
allotment were there are no bona fide expressions of interest.3 Accordingly, we will delete Channel 
244C2 at Maupin.4  
4. The Commission will send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and Order in a report to 
be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review 
Act, see 5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(1)(A).
5. Ordering Clauses.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 
5(c)(1), 303(g), and (r), and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and 0.61, 0.204(b) 
and 0.283 of the Commission’s Rules, IT IS ORDERED That effective August 12, 2010, the FM Table of 
Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission’s Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect to the 
  
1 Petitioner proposed Channel 244C2 at Maupin, as its first local service.  No other parties filed comments or 
expressions of interest in that allotment. See Maupin, Oregon, Report and Order, 25 FCC Rcd 78 (MB 2010).
